Hi All, I just wanted to let you all know about a Charity event I am organising for next summer - its going to be BIG !!!
I have been feverishly working on this for a few weeks now but I am now please to announce that The Big Life Ride is go
We have our venue - Mallory Park in Leicestershire.
We have our date - Monday 15 August 2011.
We now need more sponsors - working on this so watch this space.
So what is the Big Life Ride you say ??
Well, having lost two very close friends within 10 days of each other and both from cancer - this, through the sadness inspired me to do something and something BIG !!
Being an ex roadie, track and TT racer and supporter of all things Lance Armstrong I decided to put together a little bike event !!! I wanted to do this many years ago and never got round to it !
We want to raise £1 MILLION POUNDS for our chosen charities, Cancer Research UK, Macmillan Cancer Support, LiveStrong and Rainbows Children's Hospice.
So, The Big Life Ride is a 12 hour relay charity bike event, cycling around a race track - so its safe - but you don't have to ride the whole 12 hours - which is why we want teams of riders of all abilities to take part and the best thing is it's all about the Time you ride and not the Distance you ride - so if it takes you 1 hour to do 1 mile or 10 miles its no bother - all we ask is that you raise lots of money for the cause.
There will also be a Trade/Expo taking place in the paddock and we have full use of the camp site opposite the pits and camping is from Sunday 14 August afternoon.
More info here http://www.thebigliferide.com and follow the Facebook and Twitter links too.
So get a team together and get raising some money for cancer charities!!
Oh, btw we have contact with Lance Armstrong and we also have the backing from none other than Mr Phil Liggett and hope to get a bundle of more stars signed up soon.
We aim to make this event the race for life but on 2 Wheels and is open to all abilities as it is not a race and as the website says there will be plenty of other cycling activities on throughout the day - more of that soon.
Registration is FREE at the moment.
Thanks.
